The 28 year old was walking in the ‘Winter’s Tale’ section of the show, when she slipped and fell on her knees. All in all, it was one very gracefully and very well-handled fall. Ming gave a little giggle, was helped to her feet by fellow model Gizele Oliviera and continued her walk with aplomb.

But it’s clear from her follow-up Instagram post that she took the tumble hard. Writing in a post, the model revealed it was “one of the hardest moments” in her career, considering she was walking in front of her family in her home city.

“As many of you may already know, I fell during my 5th year walking at the Victoria's Secret show yesterday,” she wrote in the caption. “It was no doubt one of the hardest moments I have ever had to go through in my career, especially since the show was taking place in my hometown, in front of my mother's and my people's eyes.”

However, she assured fans that she was going to ‘pick herself up,’ writing: “I will pick myself up from where I fell, and I will keep going in order to repay all the support you all have given me!”

She also thanked showrunner Ed Razek, Gizele Oliviera for her “very selfless and loving act,” and all the models who “rushed to comfort” her backstage.

Ming also wrote a shorter post on Chinese social media site Weibo, where she wrote: "I'm sorry to let everyone down. Thanks for everyone's concern.”

“As a model for seven years, I have fallen on this road many times, but I know no matter how painful it is, I must stand and finish. The future road is long. I will always continue walking."
